In Business and Industry
Business and industry can benefit from being more energy efficient, reducing operational costs and therefore improving their profitability. At the same they can improve environmental credentials by reducing the greenhouse gas emissions associated with their business.
Since 2005, EnergyWise Forums have been conducted to provide case studies on successful energy efficiency projects, expert commentary about how to be more energy efficient and industry workshops to showcase energy efficienct products. These free forums have been held targeting office buildings, hotels, resorts, shopping centres and the retail sector.
The Environmental Protection Agency administers the ecoBIZ program which helps Queensland businesses adopt energy efficient practices that are good for the financial bottom-line as well as for the environment.
The National Framework for Energy Efficiency (NFEE) is working nationally to bring energy efficiency opportunities to the attention of key decision-makers in large energy-using businesses, to motivate action by businesses and to improve the skill-base to identify energy efficiency opportunities. NFEE is also working to demonstrate the benefits of energy efficient technology, build industry capacity to deliver energy efficient solutions, promote innovation and reduce energy efficiency investment risks.
